Asthma

Asthma is a persistent airway inflammation and narrowing that provokes periodic episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, cough, and chest tightness. At Kateb Medical, we offer personalized asthma care for adults and adolescents in the area. Our veteran pulmonologists and internists utilize a combination of clinical history, spirometry, and allergy testing to properly diagnose asthma and determine its severity.

Treatment programs can involve inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to precipitants such as allergens, irritants, or smoking. We closely collaborate with each patient to formulate an asthma action plan, decrease flare-ups, and avoid ER visits. Our treatment also includes managing complications such as sleep disorders, fatigue, or overlapping lung disease such as COPD, rhinitis, and pulmonary hypertension. We emphasize patient education and equipping patients with the ability to control symptoms and breathe easily.
